Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Please excuse me if I'm a little off course here but I'm new to all this.
I took out a Bank of Scotland loan in 1999 and they added a PPI to the loan as 'part of the offer' and sometime after I had some problems and they defaulted me and passed the loan to a collections company which I have since found out is actually part of the Bank. More recently I took out a dmp and BOS have moved the account back to my bank and started sending me statements etc.
I heard about the PPI reclaim and asked them for a copy of my original contract etc over 11 months ago with no reply (but they did cash the £10 cheque I sent them), finally I kept calling them and someone sent me a single page copy showing the agreement.
It cost me £3435.08 for the PPI and £2061.05 in interest so a total of £5496.13 for something that I never wanted and after the first five years was useless if I understand this correctly.
Is it too late to claim? Anyone have any words of advice?
May also be a good idea to have a read of the other stickys at the top of the PPI forum and some of the threads in this forum to give you a good idea of what is involved in getting your money back.
There are also template letters in the stickys which you can edit to suit your needs.
